ORGANOLEPTIC PROFILE
Straw yellow color with intense golden hues.
The scent from the citrusy beginning carries nuances of hazelnut and star anise, with retro-olfactory hints of peach, ripe pear and saffron. The mouth has a warm entrance, which is followed by a good acid note that accompanies the discovery of an intricate and enveloping mineral texture that fades into the savory.
Serving temperature: 12-13°C.
